Some overhead leaks are due to minor problems - such as a single torn shingle or a small hole in flashing - that you can usually handle with a little DIY experience and some basic tools. But other situations call for a roofer's expertise. If you can't fix the problem quickly and completely, call a professional as soon as possible; water damage spreads quickly, even from a small leak. A licensed roofer is best when:

1. There are multiple leaks.

2. The leak is wicking across framing members or along walls, making it difficult for you to trace the source.

3. A repair you made is not holding.

4. The leak entails significant damage to roofing surface or flashed areas.

5. The roof surface, such as ceramic tile roof, is beyond your abilities.
